Do Collagen Supplements Increase Connective Tissue? | Educational Video | Layne Norton PhD

[@lisinbondi1240]

Here’s the thing. Young people produce loads of collagen naturally. So you may be filling an already full cup. How about the studies in people over 60 because that is when it matters and may make a genuine difference

[@thesandman1384]

Collagen is a fancy word for specific amino acids that make up structural tissues of the body (cartilage, ligaments, bone, skin, etc) If you’re consuming adequate protein in your diet, you are already getting these amino acids in. Collagen is a sham.

[@dan110024]

Similar to when vitamin companies target fit and healthy people instead of the people that might actually be deficient in something.

[@stanlevox2291]

A young person still needs raw materials and more of it to utilize.

[@HemiBurns]

Exactly

[@Vel1ar]

Yeah, cuz ppl over 60 already learned how to digest whole proteins and peptides without breaking them down to individual amino acids. Makes total fucking sense.

[@seanwintermerle]

Hey Dr. Layne, I personally strength train for gymnastics, focusing on moves like the iron cross, Maltese, and planche. These exercises place a huge amount of pressure on the connective tissue, and I used to experience significant pain in my biceps tendons before I started taking collagen. Literally three hours after my first dose of collagen, my pain decreased significantly. Ever since, I’ve been taking collagen, and whenever I stop, the pain slowly comes back. What do you think?

[@cyclamen831]

Also, I really do not understand why they keep using young male research subjects. They are going to be fine no matter of what! I think these studies should be really focusing on aging population. I cannot imaging they would not find subjects for a study like this. Any university has staff and professors and I am sure they are all aging too....

[@Vel1ar]

cuz young males are your most anabolic population. If you make untrained young male train, you also should see increase in anabolic response in connective tissue. This study shows, that collagen shows no increase in connective tissue growth against placebo even in most growth-prone population. Good luck trying to repair joints that are already degrading with that.

Skin is made up of connective tissue, most of which is collagen. It makes perfect sense to study connective tissue synthesis in response to collagen supplementation.

[@streetwisetactics]

it's not the information we wanted, but it's the information we needed...

[@VeggoFix]

In case someone is wondering: In this study also hydroxyproline concentrations increased following collagen peptide supplementation (p < 0.05). This might matter as apparently the receptors that activate the collagen build-up in connective tissue (and skin cells) respond specifically to hydroxyproline or it's peptides. (from collagen) Previous to the discussed study results it was hypothesized by some that hydroxyproline supplementation might increase collagen in connective tissues. It does not seem to. Perhaps in some situations an effect could be shown, like in burn victims or otherwise injured, but likely not in healthy individuals.

[@stevefoxrox]

You said the study only lasted a week, isn’t connective tissue turnover around 3-4 weeks though, so if the study was 6 weeks it may show collagen in the new connective tissues, also weight lifting is not the best practice for connective tissue gains, but rather jumping and sprinting high impact exercises would be superior for bone and connective tissue Adaptation.

[@Freefall347]

Pretty much what I was thinking. 1 week just doesn't sound long enough to draw any real conclusions, unless maybe the company is claiming it can be effective in that short a time.

Thanks for including links to the studies! The second study showed higher average connective protein synthesis rates for whey and collagen vs. placebo, but it didn't rise to the level of statistical significance. There is also a section at the end with links to similar articles, including one titled "Ingestion of a Whey Plus Collagen Protein Blend Increases Myofibrillar and Muscle Connective Protein Synthesis Rates" -- so maybe taking both is the answer? I put both in my coffee, and combined with light lifting, my bad knee is getting better -- slowly but steadily.

[@apothe6]

[@apothe6]

I've read that glycine production slows after 30 and therefore supplementing with collagen could potentially stall connective tissue decline. I hope we get a study with older people

[@danielaferreira1310]

Personal observation that I realize could be subjective- My hair growth is next level since I started taking collagen, also seems more shiny and luscious 😊

[@Coromi1]

[@HemiBurns]

I will say collagen has helped the pain management of my arthritic shoulder. That’s why I am sticking with it…. I am 61

[@geminierica4077]

All i know is this starting in my 30s i was getting bad knee pain to where i couldn't even do leg press or many other leg exercises and after i introduced collagen and that's the only change i made the pain was going away by 3-4 weeks and the one time i stopped taking it started to come back .. and im very skeptical of supplements but thsts one that made a noticeable difference for me. So i dont know how it works, or why, if its amino acids or whatnot but I'll take it forever, not for the protein i treat it as a joint supplement

[@robertmusil1107]

Same. When I was 27 I had some minor knee issues when training. And that was 8 years ago. Since I took Collagen never again. Oh wait. Once, when I didn't take it for a month... And I immediately felt it again.. What a coincidence :D So, it clearly isn't placebo. Because I had so much to do that month that I just forgot about it.

[@kennyp3318]

Same it gets rid of my knee pain. Also my nails grow maybe 3 times faster. I don't take it for muscle protein synthesis. I take it for skin nails and joints like everyone else does.

[@RC_NotTheCola]

Would love to have more research on the older community (weird to think of myself in that manner). I've noticed much more joint pain as I age, especially getting back to working out, and also my skin elasticity lessening. Figure at worst collagen is just a little waste of $. Few months into use I've noticed increased nail/hair growth but not sure anything more. Will keep it up longer and see.

In my late 40's I started taking collagen for knee and joint pain specifically. I do a lot of mountain biking and trail running. I'm not sure if it's placebo, but it really seems to help my knees. It would be interesting to study if there is any kind of difference in young vs old. The referenced study is 25 year olds. Seems like when you are young, you have the world by the balls and don't need to supplement anything. 🤣 I never felt the need to supplement when I was 25. I'm 51 and blood work has revealed the need to supplement several things like DHEA, B12, VitD, Testosterone, Thyroid, Folic Acid.

[@robertmusil1107]

It also helped my knees when I started taking it at 27, and I didn't even have bad knees. Just sometimes they hurt from squatting or whatever. I don't think it's a placebo, I just think there are no long-term studies. Collagen synthesis takes a lot of time. They should do this over 2 years and then check.

[@prossi4216]

My wife (60 year old) swear that in just two weeks collagen supplementation cleared her knee pain, that lasted more than a year. I was using collagen after surgery, and she tried it when I told her it might help her for wrinkles (it didn't seem to work for that, but I won't tell her this part).

[@xylivb]

this is IN MUSCLE. Muscle is few percent collagen obviously. And no one takes it to increase muscle collagen. It seems logical that we couldnt even measure slight changes in this little amount of collagen in muscle. And in such little amount there is also not a high demand for collagen... so why would it even do something.

[@jamminmoose3958]

Faulty study for multiple reasons not to mention glycine is a under consumed amino acid so collagen is definitely a good thing to take regardless

[@wallycola5653]

Collagen contains a unique amino acid called hydroxyproline, which is why collagen supplementation may be able to increase collagen synthesis (in theory). I'm not saying it does, but there is a plausible mechanistic basis for how it might

[@PowerYuLiu]

I wasted 6 minutes and heard nothing

[@robertmusil1107]

I'm just saying that since taking Collagen I stopped having knee pain (from squatting), and my skin health overall increased to a very high degree, to a point where everyone asks me what I'm doing... And I took Protein powder over that time, and it didn't have the same effect (despite having all the amino acids required to produce Collagen). So, for me it seems like there is something that we might have not discovered yet or looked at properly? In the end, it's not expensive, and it is natural (like you'd eat fish skin), so whatever. So, in the end, the worst thing it does is being a waste of money.

[@atikameg73]

Curious to know the timeline of your supplementation.

[@stevefoxrox]

It doesn’t fit Layne’s agenda that collagen may strengthen connective tissue, so he isn’t looking or even thinking about the limitations and flaws in this study

Which is why he mainly covers protein synthesis in this.

[@gregorammann7147]

If you care about your skin appearance and or skin health, use a moisturizer with SPF first. Pretty much everything else is secondary to that. Also look into topical retinoids, maybe.

A 15g scoop a day is a miniscule amount. When I've supplemented with collagen and noticed benefits in injury recovery, I was taking several times that amount a couple of times a day.

[@jesserodgers2812]

As others noted, it would be interesting to see more studies in different populations, e.g. older subjects and especially during recovery from injury. I'm generally quite skeptical about collagen supplements, especially in the context of a sufficiently high overall protein intake. That said, after my recent quad tendon autograft ACL reconstruction, I did take 10-15g of collagen and 3-5g of glycine per day for the first few months. I figured it was a reasonably cheap and low risk insurance policy (akin to a multivitamin) that might be useful in my specific situation. For that matter, a placebo effect that made recovery feel better and faster was also a useful outcome.

[@cheliospanama9786]

[@livephysiology]

These collagen studies could be another example of a product that has shown to not hurt, but also not be much help. It would be interesting to see what future studies show as far as any possible benefits that are still not known.

[@VeggoFix]

It does hurt the wallet, to be fair. Gelatin is a lot cheaper per gram and has not been shown to differ in effect in non-industry funded/sponsored human trails. It might even be that even cheaper proteins have just as much effect on connective tissue and skin as (overpriced) collagen supplements.

[@bladefist2000]

Collagen supplementation is for hair, skin and nails. It's why i take it and anecdotally it works for me. I just don't count it towards my daily protein target for MPS.

[@2BWiley2]

Probably won't change anything - but as noted by others in these comments, studying connective tissue synthesis in young men between the ages of 22 and 28 seems intuitively pointless. Do young men even suffer connective tissue degeneration or anything that might stimulate a need for connective tissue synthesis for anything other than traumatic injury recovery? Not suggesting the results would be any different if tested on older adults, but simple logic seems to dictate older adults are the audience that most likely has actual age-related connective-tissue degradation and thus potential greatest benefit from collagen supplementation. Results might not be any different, but the point is - we don't know. As designed, this study seems almost pointless.

[@emmanuelananda6551]

I have often wondered about this. Given that large, undigested proteins moving across the lumen would be incredibly problematic, obviously deamination has to happen. Collagen cannot make it straight into the bloodstream. Do you think it is reasonable to suggest that the sheer concentration of glycine inherent in collagen protein could drive increased collagen production? Thanks for a great video.

One week?? IThe intructions on my collagen peptide supplement (Jamieson) says that 5 months are required. I have no idea if there is research to back that up. But I do know that connective tissue regeneration is a much slower process than muscle. One week does not make any sense whatsoever.

[@Halcyonhal]

As someone with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, I really wish there an ability to foster great collagen production. People with EDS are believed to have faulty production of collagen. ie we make it but it’s flawed, resulting in weak collagen. Producing more won’t directly help, but producing less as we age might why symptoms get worse in our 40s and beyond (at least they have for me)

[@bravenkind7843]

Connective tissues like tendons and ligaments don’t have blood supplies so they would be very to respond. I wonder if there is an effect out 6 months to a year. But in any case, that may be slow enough that supplementation doesn’t matter because you don’t need a lot of substrates to keep up with the rate of replacement or growth. Based on this though, it makes sense, perhaps a good quality protein like whey is all you need.

[@darth_pronator]

This study used young males. Young males produce enough collagen themselves and do not need supplements. They performed resistance training which does almost nothing to stimulate connective tissue growth. Connective tissue thickens from very heavy isometric and eccentric exercises, and it becomes adequately elastic when stressed by performing explosive exercises like leaping to build Achilles elasticity. So the study tests the effect of collagen supplements on people who should have no reason to benefit from it whatsoever. Test its effects on older people who are performing tendon specific training. That way, we’d know if collagen supplements help build connective tissue. This isn’t complicated.

[@wallycola5653]

Hydroxyproline is a unique amino acid found only in collagen, which is needed for collagen synthesis. If collagen supplementation does help, that's probably why- it provides tons of a limiting amino acid that you don't get from other protein sources. That's why the "collagen doesn't work better than any other protein" argument for connective tissue doesn't make sense, because even though the whole collagen protein is torn apart in digestion, you still get intact hydroxyproline
